Yes, one of the best!

Thank you KZread for bringing these galleries into our homes!

This was an absolute gem of a talk about Ingres! I loved learning about what the artist was experiencing in life while he painted this portrait. The little details were an homage to the master of details. I never noticed the little kissing angel before, well done and thank you!

The National Gallery: SOOO INTERESTING presentation!

Thank you so much for these talks , with a scientific background I known nothing of art and I find them both fascinating and informative enabling me to enter a whole new world.

WE LOVE ALL YOU DO NATIONAL GALLERY! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Great painting that deserves someone worthy to speak of it and Chris Riopelle is the man. Hats off!

Monsieur Riopelle is a great speaker. Love that he went into great length about the background stories and the nature of Ingres (who knew that he was a procrastinator and he was "mad" according to David). He goes beyond to just what is on the canvas (which we all can see. So don't just point to the fact that she is wearing a flowery dress). Please have him on to do talks again.

I totally agree, thank you. Mr Riopelle.

This is a really interesting talk. Chris Riopelle brings it to life with his excellent commentary.Thank you.

I saw this back in the late 70’s when I was a student. It’s burnished into my memory. It’s so beautiful

Thank you for this interesting and exciting explanation of the painting by Ingres. A gem of talk about Ingres.

Excellent video. Chris Riopelle is always such a treat to listen to.

A brilliant lecture!

Excellent Presentation Thank You

Thank you for this fascinating lecture. I was held spellbound all the way through and have a deeper understanding of Ingres now.

Such an informative, profound and eloquent commentary on this elaborate portait. A biography as elaborate as the painting itself. Thank you.

Thank you for these talks.

Beauty, very good, interesting presentation, nice pictures. Thanks.

Fabulous painting and great lecture!

Beautifully spoken, bravo

Outstanding presentation. A pleasure to be able to see this, thanks for sharing !

What an absolutely fascinating lecture. Well prepared. Wonderfully presented. THANK YOU Mr RIOPELLE

How wonderful. Thank you. I never got to take art history but grew up in the greatest museums and always wished I knew more. Then to see David, Stendhal, Foucault and Ingres linked, works i had seen or read, pure joy. Context and connection

We're so glad you enjoyed the talk, Victoria! Make sure to have a watch of some of our other videos too! kzread.info/head/PLvb2y26xK6Y5fL_MDdSOB8FlqNGkLKSWb

A most enjoyable talk, for all the many reasons already commented on here, I could not say it all any better. Am looking forward to another lecture by Mr Chris Riopelle, his presentation was detailed with very little use of notes as he knew his subject amazingly well. Thank you.

I did not know the work of Ingres or Chris Riopelle before this but now big fans of both! Excellent insight!

Great news, Hope!

Bellissimo! Thank you to Chris Riopelle and the National Gallery for this most informative presentation! The subject matter as presented was engrossing and thought provoking. Great nuggets of significant historical value I was previously unaware of were brought forth by Mr. Riopelle in a clear and understandable manner. I look forward to additional uploads of the 'Talks for All Series' as they are the next best thing to actually being there. Bravo and encore, please!

Gorgeous presentation!

Thank you! I enjoyed this lecture immensely.

What an interesting representation!

Stunning beautiful Story,Thank for sharing

I am so grateful for these great talks. Watching from Wyoming-Thank You!😷

Excellent presentation

Beautiful, thanks so much, beside Bouguereau, Ingres is my favorite painter,

Thank you fo making this video and for posting it. Wonderfully made and informative. The highlight of my day.

Extremely interesting mini lecture. But much too short. I want more!

A very decent talk, full of detail that true art lovers will enjoy and perhaps 'bring to mind' when viewing the piece in the future. Well done to the NG for presenting this work to the public!

Informative and entertaining, what a wonderful channel

Grenat lecture. Thanks 😊

Really thorough and interesting talk

I would have to add several months, just for the patterned dress, the vase, the Washington portrait is simpler. His craftsmanship is stunning. Princesse de Broglie is my favorite, the blue satin dress. I really enjoyed this presentation! Many thanks

Great talk! Thank you!!

Wonderful talk about Ingres and this extraordinary portrait! Thanks!

What a wonderful informative talk. Bravo

wow, i loved the presentation.. thank you!

Thank you very much for this interesting and informative presentation. I enjoy this lecture enormously!

Wonderful talk! Thoroughly enjoyed the interesting story of this painting and its frame.

Excellent as always !

Wonderful, thank you.

wonderful, thank you

Very interesting. Great work of art and great explanation.

Again, what an extraordinarily clear example of the role geometry played on these painters' composition. Ingres puts a major diagonal going up to the carré (or square), guiding and organizing the entire painting. Curiously, he took inspiration from one of the best surviving greco-roman examples of such a use of geometry in composition, with a stark demonstration of cross diagonals and vertical in the middle. I am still hoping that a curator will come along and start tackling these subjects more pertaining to the actual craft of the painter than just their products' history. Nevertheless, another great talk.

Thank you!

@@Sacred-Heart-of-Jesus829 You also have the last name Riopelle in French . One example will be "Jean-Paul Riopelle" the great Canadian/ Québécois painter. But Chris Riopelle haven't a good French accent though

Excellent lesson, thank you!! Please, I would like to know if the Madame actually used this dress, or if it was made up

The frame that was taken off: What is the problem with lesser minds thinking they know better than great artists and the rest of us, who want to see what the artist can offer? Thank goodness the frame was restored!

Wow

I used to love JLDavid then I read of his involvement in the French revolution and that was it for me , its difficult to separate the person from his œuvre.

Around 2004, I saw an Ingres show at the Louvre. It contained some of his early portraits of society ladies. I found them surprisingly amateurish looking. Now I guess I know why. The mature works were astonishing and sublime.

I'm a portrait artist but this quality is a lost art.I can't imagine repainting the dress.

The gentleman in the other portrait seems to be taking notes 😁

The amount of detailed paintings he has done in a year for example is not possible, even if he were a fast painter. With all of life's everyday issues, he could not have painted so many paintings so easily. Could he have sold out, like others..? Something doesn't add there.

A decent talk but there were a few inconsistencies which I will point out below: - Giving the impression that most paintings were finished in less than a year is very misleading as there are a lot of exceptions. Every artist worked differently, every subject was different, often artists painted more than a few picture at a time etc. - Ingres and Delacroix were most definitely not friends - in fact the hostility and rivalry between them is very well documented in documents of the time, as well as Delacroix's journal. It is true however that from time to time they had admiration for one another's work. - And lastly Ingres's name was mispronounced during the whole talk. There's a specific French r that must be pronounced at the end which I never heard.

in ART, never be afraid to steal some ideas lol

I would like to a thing with now for what.

What an odd pronunciation of "Ingres".

Time to dry between glazes.

maestro, bravo!

a huge historical mistake, Delacroix and Ingres were enemies !! Ingres will prevent him, moreover, on several occasions, from being elected to the Institut de France, Delacroix wrote in his diaries about Ingres "this radical vice, this absence of heart, soul, and reason, which, according to him, characterizes his rival. Please, when you work for this great institution you should be more accurate...
